After Action Report
In Chicago, the Pistons handled the Bulls 110-93. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
